Overview
Many people that experience TMJ or chronic migraines are desperate for a way to reduce their pain. They have tried everything from massage, acupuncture, painkillers, countless visits to other doctors, and even surgery. If you’ve tried these options and are still in pain, or don’t want to go through the long-term damage that some of these options propose, there is a drug-free, nonsurgical way to reduce your pain: TruDenta.
The chewing system consists of the teeth, the tongue, and the muscles of the neck and jaw. As we age, our teeth, mouth, and muscles accumulate stress and micro-traumas from things such as sports injuries, orthodontics, car wrecks, poor posture, teeth clenching, teeth grinding, or poor chewing habits. These stresses can lead to an imbalance or breakdown in any member of the chewing system. We offer private consultations in Houston and The Woodland, TX by our dentists, Drs. Lewis and Atabakhsh for patients seeking TMJ relief. We can also discuss options like TruDenta to help reduce your pain when other methods are just not working.
Treatment
In order to restore balance to the chewing system, the muscles of the neck and jaw need to be relaxed so that the teeth can be adjusted back to a healthy position. Our office is certified in the revolutionary TruDenta System to give balance to the chewing system and help alleviate pain. Patients that suffer from TMJ or migraines typically undergo 4 – 12 weeks of in-office muscle therapy and bite adjustments to reset and re-balance the chewing system. Once the chewing system is back in balance, many patients who experience chronic TMJ or chronic migraines report that their pain is reduced.
Texas Center for Cosmetic Dentistry Reviews
Roxanne my hygienist and she is the best! She does the most thorough cleaning I have ever had anywhere before. And Dr Lewis is just the absolute magician in dentistry. No exaggeration! I had broken jaw as a child and subsequent asymmetric jaw, and bad orthodontic experience leaving me with severely worn teeth and TMJ issues on and off for years. It was a coincidence that brought me to this office. I no longer believe in coincidences! My teeth are beautiful! My bite is stable! He has restored my smile! I never believed it could be done! I will forever be thankful for his talents and patience and the kindness and care of the entire staff! Amazing what he can do!!!
This is a much needed addendum to my original post. If you have TMJ, bite issues where teeth dont meet properly or not confident with your smile, read my words carefully. I mean every word. Dr Lewis is a magical artist in restoring and balancing my bite. I continuously am stopped when traveling or shopping and told I have the most beautiful smile or the prettiest teeth! That was not my main reason for seeing him, but frustration over not getting answers to my teeth problems, misaligned bite, wearing enamel off teeth. No one and I have lived many places and always chose great dentists helped me or told me someone else may be able to correct my problems snd give me a gorgeous smile besides! My previous dentist brushed off my questions, and had difficulty scheduling hygiene appointments, so I knew Dr Lewis from when I lived in The Woodlands. I thought, I dont mind a drive for a good cleaning and maybe i would get answers to my questions. When he said he could fix my bit and rejuvenate my smile I was beyond thrilled. Yes it cost more but say you want to keep your teeth, and even your appearance, wow "Put your money where your mouth is!!!! It was a big project but after the initial exam and xrays , a plan was drawn up to do in segments or all at once. I chose all at once as much as possible. The team coordinated everything and with incredible attention to every detail from what they would do, when , how and what to expect. The level of professionalism and skill is unsurpassed. If you have TMJ, teeth wearing badly, skip the trips to Dentist to get your nightguard readjustment and make an appointment for a consultation to see what Dr Lewis can do for you. It changed my life, i look you ger, my face is more symmetrical looking because my teeth align normally. This man is a fine person not just a genius. He has changed not only my life, my ability to chew without pain, saved me every 3 mo visits to dentist, and gave me back a confident smile. Dont wait! Roxanne my hygienist and she is the best!

As a former Dental Hygienist, I sought Dr. Lewis's expertise when I needed to have several anterior crowns replaced. He and his Staff took the time to create a beautiful smile for me which included veneers as well. I have had TMJ problems for over 40+ years and have worn through many nightguards and still had pain. My G-Lewis appliance developed by Dr. Lewis has finally given me relief from years of jaw pain. I highly recommend Dr. Lewis and his Staff to anyone who is searching for quality dental care.

Frequently Asked Questions
Trudenta Helps What Condition?
If you suffer from TMJ, chronic migraines, vertigo, ringing of the ears, bruxism (clenching or grinding your teeth), or pain in the head neck or back, we may be able to help reduce your pain. Can you imagine what life would be like if you had little to no pain from temporomandibular joint syndrome (TMJ) or migraines? What impact would it have on your family and your quality of life? If this sounds like something that you thought was unattainable, TruDenta may be the answer that you are seeking!
What Nerve Does It Target?
The main nerve center to which the chewing system reports is called the trigeminal nerve center, which also happens to be the same nerve center that generates migraines, headaches, and pain in the face and neck. Because of this shared nerve center, imbalances in any member of the chewing system can trigger an alert in the trigeminal nerve center and generate migraines, TMJ, headaches, and pain in the neck or back. In order to restore balance to the chewing system, the muscles of the neck and jaw need to be relaxed so that the teeth can be adjusted back to a healthy position. We accomplish this with TruDenta.
How Many Appointments?
TruDenta is not a one-size-fits-all type of treatment. Joint pain is unique to each patient, and the number of sessions is dependent on the severity of the condition. During your private consultation with one of our experienced dentists, you will discuss what kind of time commitment and number of appointments will be needed to start to feel real results.
Reduce Your TMJ Pain
If you are ready to take a step towards being pain free, or simply want to learn more about how TruDenta works, call our office in Houston or The Woodlands, TX to set up a TruDenta consultation. The consultation lasts approximately 2 hours and consists of a range of motion tests and dental examinations. After the consultation, we will better be able to diagnose the extent of treatment needed. We look forward to helping you transform your life with TruDenta at the Texas Center for Cosmetic Dentistry.
